Hello!

I'm Sarah, aka Scatty, Bun, Mum or "The Wifelet".

Thank you for your interest in my little tin "tinkerings"!

I've always liked making jewellery, from quite a young age,

using bits of wire and beads and sparkly things. I ran a small business

selling imported silver jewellery for a few years, and learned a lot

about retail (and people), but I wanted to make pretty things myself.

I did look into silversmithing, but it was expensive to learn,

let alone buy materials and tools.

Feeling discouraged, I was browsing Pinterest one day when a "pin"

came up entitled "how to make earrings from old tin boxes".

Intrigued, I spent a few days acquiring the necessary tools

(and an old tin), then a few more slashing my fingers

and swearing a bit ... OK, a LOT!

Several mishaps (and a lot of plasters) later,

I had my first pair of recycled tin earrings,

and the rest, as they say ...
